Protests disrupted a hearing with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., where he was questioned about his budget as Health and Human Services Secretary. Several protesters, including Ben Cohen, vocally criticized Kennedy's policies. Shouts from the crowd targeted Kennedy, accusing him of responsibility for deaths related to AIDS, which led to security officials removing the demonstrators. Cohen continued to protest against military funding directed at Israel amidst budget cuts affecting Medicaid, calling attention to humanitarian issues. The chairman acknowledged the chaos humorously, characterizing it as a significant C-SPAN moment.
RFK kills people with AIDS, the protester repeatedly shouted. She was also holding up a sign in Kennedy's direction.
Cohen then stood up to continue the group's efforts after the others were taken out. Congress pays for bombs that kill kids in Gaza! Cohen said.
